sweet pics!
Wish you were in IL, I'm getting the Saab detailed tomorrow, who knows what kind of job will be done, but certainly not as good as you guys do :thumbup:

I'm interested. Any ideas on when and where?

I'm interested as well. Although, CT may be too far for me...

Phil: I'm purchasing the 4.6 rear & front bumper soon for my 3.0. Once I receive it I will then get it painted then wait till early spring (If I can wait that long) to put it on.

Do you advise a good detail before or after the new bumpers get put on? Or both?
Maybe it does not matter...I was just assuming since the bumpers will be freshly painted and my car obviously is not...
On top of that winters can be harsh on paint.

Thx!

cmyx5go, it will be in NJ once I kick this cold....it will be in Nov, it will be inside, just working out some details :)

blackbeauty, I would ask the bodyshop that you are painting the bumpers with what you can do to the bumpers after you get them painted. Its always a good idea to keep your paint on the car protected that won't affect anything on the bumpers.

yeah, the bumpers will be stored for at least a month or two before they go on. i don't want to put them on my X in the middle of the winter, yk?

I'm in for one, and possibly 2..

Definitely the wife's E46 Vert
Possibly my 06X5

Thanks Phil

ED in Metuchen

How about this Sunday the 18th, I have a window tint guy and a clear bra installer in hand.

Let me know how many of you are good for this date and I can start filling in the list. Depending on what people choose I can figure 8-10 cars.

Let me know.

Phil

Update:

Here is what I was thinking:

Std: $125 cars and $150 for SUV's
Wash
Clay
Sealant
Windows
Tires dressed

Options:
1. Paint correction 1 or 2 step polish with Menzerna products: $50-100 depending on what is needed
2. Interior Vac/dash wiped down --- $30
3. Leather cleaned and conditioned -- $30
4. Carpets cleaned with extractor --$30-50
5. Engine detail - $50
6. Door jambs cleaned and sealant - $30

Let me know if you would be interested and I can figure out a place/time/and date.

Update address: 92 Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07604 this is Nelson from Clear Films new digs.

We will also be figuring out a group deal on clear bra and window tinting.

Count me in. I'll do the standard exterior plus the interior wipe down and leather clean/condition.

Phil:

How long will it take to do a convertible (per our private discussion I will bring the top cleaner and conditioner).

I need to know because Sundays are my wife's "duty" days to take care of her mom, who is not far from Hasbrouck Heights.


Do you think if I get there by 9 I would be done by 12?

Same as L above (standard exterior plus leather interior clean/condition)..

Thanks
ED

Interested in std. + Option 1, but I can only do weekdays.

i'd be interested if this wasn't so far away - 4 hours is a little too far for me... :(

yes 4 hours is just too far...

okay guys the 18th is pretty good seeing that I can have 3-4 of the X5ers there.

Hey we can get there earlier and start early, anyone need clear bra or window tinting I will have a guy there.

So let's see:

1. edco: standard exterior plus leather interior clean/condition
2. cmyX5go: standard exterior plus leather interior clean/condition
3. TQ2K - std plus correction, plus engine
4. BrianX5--Std + Option 1 + Option 3

Would this be in the same place?

I'm interested to have the X5 detailed. - Standard + paint correction.

Eugene it would be great to see you again...

here is the address:

Update address:
Clear Films will be hosting it they do clear bra and tinting.
92 Railroad Ave
Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07604

Please count me in!

- Standard exterior

eugene added you to the list.

lemans , where are you located and when would you like to do this?

Thanks! I wouldn't mind starting early as well so I can be on my way home early as well on a Sunday...

PM sent.

Phil,

Can you do another Std + Option 1 + Option 3? There may other options that you recommend for a brand new X5 too...

I get my X5 tomorrow. Have to come from CT but according to Google Maps, it's just over an hour.

Would definitely be interested in early time.

<<Edited to remove my note about clear bra. Decided against doing that>>

Thanks . . . . Brian

Phil:
Still need to know if I can get the wife's convertible done in 3 hours..including the top (which I'll bring the cleaner/conditioner)

Specifically, in by 9 out by 12..

Thanks
Ed

ed we should be okay we are starting at 7am until we finish. Once you get in we will start immediately.

Brian, we will be okay for Sunday as well.

Thanks. Can you suggest a time for me? As I said, I would prefer earliesh --- how about 9am?

Also, any other options you would recommend for a "fresh" X5?

Phil, I'm third on the list... What time should I be there?

Thanks!

Will be up in NJ starting 16 Dec with my 2001 X5 - It could use some help - would rather you take a look to evaluate what needs to be done and your recommendations - will contact you before I get up there and arrange for meet then, if that's okay with you - also having my bluetooth installed up when I get up there - It's really tough to discover really good people to trust your car with - thank you for your help

x5flyboy, look me up when you are up here.

See you all tomorrow.

Hey Phil,
Thanks! You and the guys did a great job shinning up my girl. Of course it started to rain as soon as I hit the road :( but she does bead nice.

If anyone is sitting on the fence about getting a good detail before winter, go see Phil. He's the man. :bow:

Eugene took a bunch of pictures. The finish on his X looks like glass :thumbup:

Phil:
Let me echo L's sentiment. My wife was STUNNED by how beautiful the car came out, especially the interior. You and your team did a WONDERFUL job, at a terrific price.

Yeah, it would have been better to not have to wipe it down after driving home in the rain, but it's looking pretty gorgeous. And my bride is DE-LIGHTED ! Phil, thanks a million !

Here's a few pix (my wife's 325Ci vert, TQ2K, CmyX5go) and Phil and team..

Don't have any shots of work being done but this is what my 4-day old X5 looked like after Phil & team had done their work. The color is richer and deeper.

Definitely recommend Phil for detailing.:2thumbs:

Where is the group shot of X5s?

Kinda hard to do a group shot when the appointments are scheduled throughout the day..

L,

thanks its was great meeting you Brian, and Ed, and of course seeing Eugene is always a great thing.

update next detail day:

Oh....Alex....

BAAAA HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Phil, you have any detail day coming up for this month?

John,
